# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Feels like you've invited a film premiere into your home without the pretension or stress.
  • Takes twenty minutes but looks like you spent all afternoon on it.
  • The contrast between creamy cheeses and rich chocolates keeps people reaching back for more.
  • Works perfectly for dinner parties, wine tastings, or a fancy night in.
02 -
  • Bring your cheeses out of the fridge twenty minutes before guests arrive—cold cheese loses its flavor, and truffle notes especially need warmth to sing.
  • Slice the pear and any soft cheeses at the last possible moment, or they'll oxidize and lose their elegance.
03 -
  • Hunt for those silver-wrapped chocolates at specialty candy shops or online—they're worth the effort because they're the visual anchor of the whole theme.
  • If you can't find edible silver leaf, don't sweat it; the board is stunning without it—the wrapped chocolates provide all the shimmer you need.
